We offer many different swim lessons for children of all ages.
Explore our options including Water Babies, Preschool, and School Age.
Our WaterBabies and WaterTots programs build basic water safety skills for both parents and children, helping infants and young children ages 6 months to 4 years old become comfortable in the water so they are willing and ready to learn to swim. These basic skills include adjusting to the water environment, showing comfort while maintaining a front or back position, bubble blowing, and gentle submersions.
Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.
Our Waterbabies program is designed for infants aged 6 months to 2 years old, or for those who are having a first-time experience of the pool atmosphere. Our WaterTots program is designed for toddlers aged 2 to 4 years old, or for those who have experience around the pool and are able to perform some swimming skills with little assistance.

Participants can attend both or one session per week as the $70 covers all lessons

We also ask that participants only stay a maximum of 15 minutes after their lesson concludes (unless they maintain an active membership or purchase a day pass).
Are you a triathlete looking for an edge against the clock or your competition? This 6-week, hour-long freestyle clinic is designed to train specific swim mechanics that will develop a smoother and faster stroke.
Private swim lessons at the YMCA provide one-on-one instruction with an experienced and certified swim instructor. Participants can be taught from basic water safety all the way up to lap swimming endurance. Whether you are a first-timer in the water or a triathlete looking for an extra edge against the competition, our instructors will help you fulfill your swim wants and needs.
All participants must be at least 2 years of age.
Please note! Private Lessons focuses on overall swimming on the front or back (in a horizontal position). If you are interested in increasing overall flexibility, strength, and conditioning in an aquatic environment, please check out our aquatic personal training page.
